I'm experimentally trying to produce a new info file for latest version of FreeCiv, as a way of working myself through the packaging tutorial. The package validates successfully, but then i get this:
$ fink -m --build-as-nobody rebuild freeciv Password: Scanning package description files.......... Information about 3596 packages read in 1 seconds. Running in Maintainer Mode Validating package file /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/freeciv.info... Error: Package version may only contain lowercase letters, numbers,'.', '+' and '-' (freeciv.info) Failed: Please correct the above problems and try again! The version number i have used is "2.2.0-RC1", which is faithful to the upstream version. Obviously i need to be less faithful, but what is the suggested way to handle this? Would "2.2.0-rc1" cause any problems?
